In my posting here about building a mailing list I wrote that I started using Aweber for this purpose. Now a few months later I have to come back and say how easy it is to use Aweber and how impressed I am with the results. My mailing list is still small, but it is growing past 40 members already. That is not a large number, but considering that I had only 1 person unsubscribe so far this is working out good. I already have a total of 10 message pre-programmed that go out every 4-5 days automatically. Every other message contains information about products or services with a link. These are cloaked affiliate links and slowly but surely I am seeing the first income from my newsletters coming in.
My content writer delivers 1 or 2 articles per week that I add to my list of pre-programmed messages now and I hope to reach 20 messages before the year is over (it is end of November today). Aweber provides great stats on my messages, which is very helpful. All newsletter messages come with a HTML version and a text version and I am also seeing how my messages eventually appear for SPAM filters. That is a great tool as it helps to write the messages in a way so that they do not get caught in SPAM filter.
Conclusion: Aweber is a great tool to build a mailing list. I could kick myself in the butt for not using it earlier. Check out their complete feature list here.
